Also known as La Venta Locality 9-86A
Where: Huila, Colombia (3.3° N, 75.1° W: paleocoordinates 2.7° N, 72.5° W)
• coordinate based on political unit
• small collection-level geographic resolution
When: Baraya Member (Villavieja Formation), Laventan (13.8 - 11.0 Ma)
• "probably within the Monkey Unit... Middle Miocene, Friasian Land Mammal Age"
•
•Note: Flynn et al., 1997 dated the Honda group and found that the monkey beds belong to the Villavieja formation, Baraya member and have an age of apr. 12.5Ma. Friasian here must be the Friasian sensu lato, that includes the Friasian sensu stricto, Mayoan and Laventan. The lower Villavieja formation is considered of Laventan age now.
• group of beds-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: terrestrial; lithology not reported
Size class: macrofossils
